Aggressive Behavior in English Nurseries and Play Groups: Sex Differences and Response of Adults

Smith, Peter K.; Green, Maureen

Child Development, 46, 1, 211-214, Mar 75

Aggressive behaviors were incident sampled in 5 nursery schools, 5 play groups, and 5 day nurseries in England, and the results compared to those of American studies. Boys had a greater probability of being involved in aggressive incidents than girls. There was no consistent evidence that adults intervened differentially in boy-boy, boy-girl, and girl-girl encounters. (Author/ED)
